Since our inaugural January 6, 2009, St. Joan of Arc Parade, we have been meeting and strategizing about our second annual procession and related events. We have named ourselves The Joan of Arc Project to encompass several activities and levels of participation for those interested in honoring Joan of Arc. Stay tuned for more announcements!
The Joan of Arc Project includes:
Krewe de Jeanne d'Arc
The Joan of Arts Fete--January 3, 2010
The St. Joan of Arc Parade--January 6, 2010
On Friday, May 8th (the date Joan lifted the siege of Orleans, France) we are holding a press conference at The Bienville House Hotel to announce our new parade route; our student contest to choose the a young Joan to lead the parade; details of the Joan of Arts Fete; events throughout the year that the Krewe de Jeanne d'Arc will be participating in; Krewe membership information; and more!
Contact Amy at stjoankrewe@yahoo.com if you would like an invitation to this press conference which is open to media and special guests who have an interest in supporting The Joan of Arc Project.
About Me
- ST. JOAN KREWE
- New Orleans, Louisiana
- I have always wanted to do something related to Joan of Arc here in New Orleans. When I realized her birthday was on the Feast of the Epiphany, January 6th (when we celebrate Twelfth Night), it seemed a perfect way to honor her and to kick off Mardi Gras! Joan of Arc represents so much to so many people and she deserves more attention in this town that is a sister city to Orleans, France! I hope the procession grows into a larger event eventually. For now, I'm just pleased to be finding other people in town who want to celebrate her while celebrating Twelfth Night!
